Well left. Surprised to see MJ have 2 runners in a race like that.

thought he might have nicked that there, shame that other one pestered him.

well that was hideous

I agreed with RUK about the price on ground that was complete ??

Did it well though.

I flagged it up before it ran but chose not to play.

ground again here ?? and price

could bolt in DB but...

the handling of that filly rebel assault leaves a lot to be desired imo

makes a great debut but 3 runs in 3 weeks wtf is that all about??

Today's runner has some strong profile traits at this time of the year.

WG grace was green on debut didn't really seem to run forward when pushed, some leg changes and little coordination (unlike many of the 5f debutantes). Part of the strong traits mentioned were once raced 2yo's at this time of the year in races where there is little form in the book but the principles have run.

This sort of race and a lofty market position has seen strong results and profit but for me I'd rather usually have seen more natural speed on debut (even if btn a fair way at the post). Either this or a total green baby that looked to be getting the hang of things later in the run.

This one really fits into neither category. It's one of the literal profiles being strong vs individual horse not really fitting the normal mould.Perhaps this race is just pretty weak and it turns out to be a good placement but It's one I'm going to pass on, if it wins I'll be more prone to take the profile results as more important in future with this type.

The once raced prominent in mkt 2yo in june already hit the board today Hatters, I'd be worried about the market weakness with this sort.

Haven't watched it's debut back yet and don't remember it will do that before this evening's meeting.

Wrong Miss
Should always go for the DD

yes abscess apparently mart

mj ruk now interview

anything of note in the interview?

I've only got 1 real angle for unraced 2yo's that is now 9-19, unfortunately that wasn't one.

He hasn't been a magic sign to back them on all known evidence available but perhaps with less rides for yard now that may become more significant.

rasn it's race today but couldn't get clear

perhap;s needs the allowance in 3yo+ company now.

Assiduous would have been a bit interesting with yard strong in this classification of mdn over today's trip and further in first couple of races of career (hit at nearly twice the expected market rate).

This one just looks too big today at the moment though.

Want to have a look at it in prelims and market

how strong was that race?
i thought it was decent enough, 7 seconds out of the standard not too bad.

just didnt have enough in the tank, will be winning a race soon enough although maybe not next time out

Gl DB, I do like htis one though there have to be slight worries about it's greenness still on 2nd start.

Did you fancy it when it was in the windsor race on monday night? (pulled out in afternoon, Hannon unraced hotpot did the business)

Be interesting what market makes of the newbies later.

Would have been interested in the 100/30 the RP put up in tissue

Wondered why week 24 would be some sort of magic dividing line in the season, then the penny dropped that this is usually the week that houses Royal Ascot, this year the event is actually a week further into the season. The differences between a lot of the profile groups before and after this big meeting are looking pretty stark in a lot of cases.

I have not really played the 2yo's again this season but certainly would be confident of a few angles next season, at least up until July.

I have notebooked a number of the recent runners as getting into their full stride in the next run or 2 and after the royal meeting the action on here will certainly increase, the few weeks following Ascot are going to be very important to hit some decent winners.

Today the usual saturday armada.

Poets Society has had plenty of racing and looks really up against it on the face of it in this sort of company. Still yet to win on turf from 12 attempts and yet to score at this level. There are some pluses, firstly not too many no hopers in the 3yo division are tried for this sort of prize money and the Sheikh has had a decent return with his runners when doing so. Not winning in the class has not been an issue neither has being raised in class for not winning lto. This horse has only had 2 races on turf over 6f so has at least an element of not being exposed despite all the experience.Mullen has yet to land a race like this for the yard but has several frame efforts from a small sample and jocks such as Liam Jones and Ted Durcan have landed big prizes for the Sheikh so today's booking may not be a negative.

There is still the niggle with the poets voice 3yo's for the yard not being so effective as at 2 so far but I think this one will have further opportunities to recoup in the season and should have plenty of early here at least on this track.

Comedy School another representative of the Sheikh today, this one is less exposed in a race that has seen him represented twice in recent years hitting the runners up spot on both occasions with torchlighter and salutation. I wouldn't be surprised to see a much better effort today over this sort of trip on the fastest ground encountered to date in career (certainly over all a plus with sire's progeny).It looked pretty likely that 12f was just too far lto and previously 7f had looked too sharp so you'd think 9 or 10f could be optimum at this stage. Plenty of the yard's runners in this sort of class are given a number of runs in the season before fully hitting their stride and there is a chance this may still be in that category but at the price I'm willing to have a small play to find out today.

3:30 York Poets Society win (£5), current odds 30.0
3:30 York Poets Society plc (£5), current odds 6.0

4:25 Sandown Comedy School, current odds 20.0

I am considering Valley Of Rocks but it certainly hasn't been doing itself any favours with it's keen running style this season so far.

stuffed.
